Abstract

We consider two selfmaps T and I of a closed convex subset C of a Banach space X which are weakly commuting in X, i.e.TIxITxIxTxforanyxinX,and satisfy the inequalityTxTyaIxIy+(1a)max{TxIx,TyIy}for all x, y in C, where 0<a<1. It is proved that if I is linear and non-expansive in C and such that IC contains TC, then T and I have a unique common fixed point in C.
